University of Wisconsin President Ray Cross on Tuesday asked the Legislature's budget-writing committee to approve a new public authority for the UW System, a "dedicated and stable funding stream" and to reduce the governor's proposed $300 million budget cut over the next two years.

Shortly after he finished his testimony, a handful of protesters burst into the room shouting, "No cuts, no deals." Followed by four Capitol police officers, the protesters marched past the table where Cross was sitting to give testimony before the Joint Committee on Finance.

If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(6)

Brewers’ stars: Ted Simmons, 2-for-4, run.

Quotable: Cecil Cooper: “Today we didn’t seem like the same team. Tomorrow, I’m sure we’ll be a different team. I’m still planning on playing at least two or possibly three games in Milwaukee.”

Quotable2: California’s Tommy John: “I’ll tell you, pitching against the Brewers is a chore – as you saw in the first few innings. But once we got up, it took a lot of pressure off me.”

Notable: Jim Gantner played despite having a rib separation. … Mike Caldwell lasted only three innings, his shortest start – other than for injury – of the season. … Pete Ladd pitched one inning, striking out all three batters.
